Food Enzymes
|
|
For Extraordinary Digestion
|
|
|
|
|
Always Young® Food Enzymes are a dynamic and comprehensive supplement made of plant enzymes to support digestion of all foods. This
includes carbohydrates, fats, proteins, sugars and fiber.
Enzymes help to break down the food we eat then deliver the resulting nutrients to the entire body.
Plant-based enzymes will activate much more quickly than animal enzymes since they begin to work immediately upon ingestion.
“You can eat the best foods and take the most well-balanced
nutritional supplements, but if you do not digest and absorb these substances, you will suffer from malnutrition, and experience less than optimal health.”
— Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D.
The saying “You are what you eat” only paints part of the nutrition picture. Nutrition occurs when the food you eat is digested efficiently. Then, the body can use the component nutrients to
build and maintain health at the cellular level. Efficient digestion only takes place in the presence of plentiful amounts of enzymes.

Twelve Points on Enzymes
Compiled by Dr. John Ray, N.D., Ph.D.
|
- Enzymes rule over all other nutrients. Enzymes are responsible for nearly every facet of life and health and far outweigh the importance of every other nutrient.
- Enzymes are needed to help control all mental and physical functions. Each body cell has in excess of 100,000 enzyme particles necessary for metabolic processes.
- Enzymes cannot function properly without the presence of other substances which are known as coenzymes. Coenzymes are minerals, vitamins and proteins.
- Once enzymes have completed their appointed task they are destroyed. For life to continue, you must have a constant enzyme supply which requires continual replacement of enzymes.
- Enzymes are found in all living cells including raw foods or those that are cooked at a temperature lower than 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Enzymes begin to perish when the temperature increases
beyond 118 degrees. The degree of enzyme destruction is a function of time and temperature.
- Enzymes are primarily proteins, yet enzymes need amino acids for normal function. Hormones are primarily proteins which require interaction with enzymes to regulate body processes.
- Enzymes aid in transforming proteins into amino acids. Protein does not perform its function unless broken down into amino acids. Amino acids can be considered as an enzyme carrier whose function
is to transport enzymes to various functions in the body.
-
Enzymes help extract chelated minerals from food. Enzymes transform chelated minerals into an alkaline detoxifying agent which combines with acid cellular wastes and toxic
settlements within the body thus neutralizing them and preparing them for elimination.
- Enzymes use minerals to create an even balance of dissolved solids both inside and outside the cells, thus equalizing both internal and external pressures which we call osmotic equilibrium.
- Vitamins are required as coenzymes to work with enzymes in every chemical reaction in every cell of the body. Without minerals extracted from food by enzymes, vitamins
would be unable to perform their function.
- An enzyme deficiency must be carefully considered as a possible precursor of bodily imbalance and consequent disease symptoms.
- Enzymes are, therefore, justified as a supplemental dietary substance which need is parallel with mineral, vitamin and all other supportive therapies.

Signs of Enzyme Deficiencies
|
|
Symptoms of mineral and vitamin deficiencies occur relatively quickly, and they are recognized as causing specific illnesses. Enzyme deficiencies, outside of genetic or birth defects, take longer to
be noticed and have only begun to be recognized in some circles of the medical community. What, then, are typical signs and symptoms of the more common enzyme deficiencies?
|
|
|
- If you have problems digesting carbohydrates, you may experience airborne-sourced allergies, diarrhea, fibromyalgia or attention deficit disorder (ADD or ADHD).
- If you cannot digest fats, you may experience constipation, gallbladder problems, heart disease or hormone imbalances.
- If you cannot adequately digest protein, you may experience constipation, arthritis or other inflammatory conditions, anxiety or panic attacks, premenstrual syndrome or immune system
disorders.
- If you are unable to break down plant fiber, you may experience constipation, eczema or other skin-related problems, recurrent yeast/fungal infestations or excessive weight gain.
|
|
|
|
The above conditions are also the result of diets high in those foods associated with the enzyme deficiency. In fact, the foods one craves are those that create dietary
stress due to one’s inability to digest them completely. They are also the foods one has either allergies or hypersensitivities towards because of the failure to be able to
digest them, i.e., because of the deficiency of that particular enzyme.
People may crave certain foods because of the enzymes found within the food, which the body needs. But being cooked and
destroyed, those enzymes do nothing for the craving—so we eat more of the same thing, telling ourselves we should not.

Description of Ingredients
|
- Amylase – digests starches and carbohydrates
- Glucoamylase – breaks down carbohydrates, specifically polysaccharides
- Lipase – digests fats
- Proteases – break down protein. A blend of 3 protease enzymes, each available for optimum activity within the various pH environments found in the digestive tract
- Cellulase – digests fiber cellulose into smaller units A very important enzyme since the human body cannot produce it on its own
- CereCalase – is a special blend of three enzymes: phytase, hemicellulase and beta-glucanase. This ‘aggregate’ enzyme has been developed to help break down the cell walls of herbs,
vegetables and fruits.
- Phytase – breaks down carbohydrates, specifically phytates (phytic acid), present in many difficult to digest grains and beans
- Hemicellulase – breaks down carbohydrates called hemi-celluloses, which are found in plant foods
- Beta-Glucanase – breaks down polysaccharides and fibers known as beta glucans
- Alpha-Galactosidase – helps to break down some of the difficult to digest foods such as beans, legumes and cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower
- Lactase – digests the milk sugar lactose
- Invertase (Sucrase) – digests sugars
- Malt Diastase (Maltase) – digests maltose, malt and grain sugars

Description of Measurements
|
|
Why aren't the enzymes in this formula measured in mg. like other vitamins?
Enzymes are measured by reaction time, rather than by amount or weight. The unit measurements used for each enzyme
refers to the length of time and the intensity of the reactions it creates.
